CLASSROOM SETTING (RULES)

Classes operate as “A CLASS” and not a social project. Classes hosted by experienced wine educators and attendees come to learn and enjoy. For this reason, talking during the class needs to be limited to questions with the instructor, cell phones need to be off or only used for social media. Groups may come to the programs, but we ask you to keep the discussion limited to appropriate times, and breaks are given for casual discussion and conversation. However, when discussion starts, all talking is strictly limited to questions for the instructor. Classes are small and intimate and we have the policy to protect the experience of others. Larger events are not subject to this policy.
